Valviktind Nightsky

The Peak, Valviktind surronded with stars and northern lights ! Also a shooting star and the Milky Way behind
It was a nice night photographing the nightsky !

Me and my friend Gaute where going out to try to take star trails pictures ! When we arrived at the northern side of town, there where weak lines of Northern Lights and some rays. The lights was red in the tops and the weak green colours below !
A solar wind was predicted to hit this night, but we had watched the data and nothing seem to happen :/ Anyway the plan was, if the lights get really strong we focus on them !
To much Northern Lights in star trail pictures doesn`t make any good i mean. After about an hour the lights got even more active then suddenly long rays on top of what was weak auroras. So I checked my camera and ran up in front and got this picture !
Just as the show started at blaze all over us ! The vibrant part of the show lasted for 15-20 minutes probably, but the weak lights peaked several times through our 4 hours out
Made pictures at 3 locations, the Northern side ( this picture ) And finally some new pictures of the island Kjerringøy with nice reflections in the sea Also made some new shots of strong lines low over the island Landegode, with reds above !

Yesterday night 9-10/2 we where out again, made a star trails picture ! We saw a 4 minute show of the lights so got some weak lights in the right of that picture. Kind of strange to be out focusing on star trails and then the Northern Lights go more active again But we kept focus on the star trails ^^

Have a nice weekend !
